Re: Bdi and serial mouse

["William Scalione" <wscalione-at-nc.rr.com>]

I had the same problem with BDI 2.18 not recognizing a mouse, tried a
Serial, PS2, and an antique Microsoft bus mouse to no avail. I figured it
was due the fact that I was trying to install on a non standard industrial
computer. TNG recognized the PS2 mouse OK, but I wanted to install BDI 2.18.
I was going to try 2.16 and see if there was any difference, but have not
got to it yet. I'll let you know what the outcome is when I try it.
